Hand Water Pumps
What are hand water pumps?
Hand water pumps are devices that use mechanical force to extract water from wells, tanks, or other water sources. They are extremely useful in situations where there is no access to electricity or other energy sources. These pumps are easy to use and maintain while providing reliability and durability.
Pneumatic diaphragm pumps use the energy of compressed air, with one, two, or three flexible diaphragms mounted on the periphery of the pump to draw in and discharge the pumped water.
Their design is simple and reliable, they have no motor, do not require lubrication, and are compact and lightweight.
